Genius: Picasso English Subtitles

Well played by all performers! The style and director's choices are magnificent, capturing the flow of Picassso's mind and creative force. Bandera's did a wonderful job throughout; for me, he was an excellent choice. Bravo!

I actually have enjoyed this season much more than the Einstein Season 1. I love how they move back and forth between young and old, and while sometimes it is confusing trying to keep up, it does require the viewer to pay close attention. I also enjoyed how they show Picasso warts and all. Basically, he was a gifted person, with a lot of moral flaws. Would he be able to exist today in the #metoo world? Perhaps not. Can we seperate the private person from the artist? That is a quesiton we are being asked to do today. I am not sure. That , to me, is the overall idea of Genius: Picasso: When all is said and done, what survives is the art. Yes, Antonio Banderas takes an episode or two to get used to, as I kept thinking of Puss and Boots as Picasso...but that is quibbles. The look and feel is excellent. The sets , the artwork, and the cast are outstanding.

They should have used an unknown for this, because instead of some form of Picasso, all I can see is Antonio Banderas with a lot of makeup. This would have been interesting if someone else was used so the story would have been the main character.
